Donald Trump is losing the people who regularly sit in the front row at his rallies. https://trib.al/bKXHNCA

I did not have this find on my bingo card for the year...
...Deep in a cave in Tennessee, thousands of feet underground, as I rounded a bend of the river passage leading a group of biology students and recent graduates in a bioinventory of the cave....I stopped suddenly and definitely swore a little "WTF is that?! GAR!?"
Yes my friends, a friggin' Gar, about four feet long, just swimming in one of the pools.
Not a single person I know of has ever seen this in a cave before. Critters from the surface do get washed in at times, and this cave has connection to surface water. However, the creeks above it are not really Gar habitat, so even us biologists are at a bit of a loss.
Well, not the property manager, who promptly said "wow, he was only this big *mimes a few inches with his fingers* when I put him in there!" (sarcasm, in case you cannot tell!)
So...enjoy a big gar, with a human for scale.
Fun fact: it would follow the light from our headlamps around, like a little kitten following a feather toy, but it declined to follow out of the pool it is comfy in
Boost if this made you smile today!
(ETA: Please don't at me to yell at me about not "saving" it, or ignoring that fish have feelings, or anything along those lines. Floods wash things into caves. Critters explore where maybe they shouldn't. There's a song in the Lion King about it. Sometimes we can rescue things out of caves that belong on the surface, but often we cannot, and for millions of years these accidentals feed the ecosystem, and support many of the other creatures that call this cave home. If you struggle with this concept: Think of it as colonization gone array so the locals win in the end.)

@paul_ipv6 The whole thing is hilarious. You should listen to people down here discuss what goes into West Indies salad. There are only THREE ingredients! @musevg @astronot @jack_daniel @MissConstrue @ai6yr

A decade ago, @CNN's Daniel Dale (then with the Toronto Star) started fact-checking Trump. He thought it would be a "quick little side project." Here are the 15 things he's learned, first of which is that Trump is the biggest liar of all. "I’ve heard people dismiss Trump’s mendacity with a shrugging 'they all lie,' but we are witnessing a rare, very possibly once-in-a-lifetime political liar."

I have a question. How do you scam money signing up for a health insurance plan that you pay for and then don't use? Can a reporter please ask this?

In the same way Trump's insistence on making the Bunker-Ballroom a fire trap (with no ladies rooms) gives us an excuse to tear it down and rebuild it, Kash's refusal to protect the FBI from serious compromise gives us an excuse to just replace all the current people with the people he fired.
Embarrassing Breach at F.B.I. ...

As Trump’s fury at news organizations grows after he loses in court, the writer of a piece on Trump’s shrinking stature explains how the media can collectively resist his abuses of power. https://trib.al/FOEaea7
@wesdym That's one off the best descriptions of Tommy Tuberville that I've ever read.

@AlliFlowers Calling him crazy is letting him off the hook. The reality is that he's just really stupid. He has a BS in PhysEd from a school who changed their name immediately after he graduated (but that's probably coincidence). He mostly did athletics there, then went straight into coaching. He's profoundly ignorant, about a great many things, but luckily for him the People of Alabama are even dumber.
@AfroIsReborn I hope no one with a brain gets too close to him. It would be like standing next to a black hole - all their brains would be sucked out. And it still wouldn’t make him any smarter.

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."
